To encourage visitors and locals to learn more about the Kingdom’s culture and monarchy, the Department of Fine Arts, under the Ministry of Culture is giving free access to national museums and historical parks.
Furthermore, most cultural, traditional and MICE events will still go on with some adjustments for appropriateness. Otherwise, it is business as usual with the mourning period having no impact on travel plans and tours.
This is a unique time to visit Thailand and experience the diverse variety of the Kingdom’s attractions and destinations. It is also a good time to learn about the legacy of His Majesty the King by visiting some of the Royal Projects he initiated during his reign. These were aimed at raising people from poverty and preserving the natural diversity of the kingdom.
The more accessible projects include the Doi Tung Development Project in Chiang Rai; Royal Agricultural Station Ang Khang, Chiang Mai, and the Chang Hua Man Royal Initiative Project in Phetchaburi. These Royal Projects also form part of the 70 Routes in His Majesty’s Footsteps, an initiative which was launched by the Tourism Authority of Thailand.
